Abstract
A parallel data structure that gives optimized memory layout for problems involving iterative solution of sparse linear systems is developed, and its efficient implementation is presented. The proposed method assigns a processor to a problem subdomain, and sorts data based on the shared entries with the adjacent subdomains. Matrix---vector-product communication overhead is reduced and parallel scalability is improved by overlapping inter-processor communications and local computations. The proposed method simplifies the implementation of parallel iterative linear equation solver algorithms and reduces the computational cost of vector inner products and matrix---vector products. Numerical results demonstrate very good performance of the proposed technique.
